I always liked the Classic macOS way for using "File Type" and "File Creator" meta data. File extensions were not used at the operating system level, but were useful for cross-platform sharing or as away to organize file

The answer is most likely yes. I have done this many times. Some web forms make it very difficult. In which case you may have some places where you will need Keyboard Maestro to wait while you do some manual interactions. Still you can get

To add to the other responses, macOS has had excellent support for a wide variety of Accessibility features/APIs. These same APIs are a boon to GUI automation tools. Even back in the Classic macOS days of System 7, it was relatively ea

By far my favorite keyboard macro tool on MacOS. Great gui interface for making and recording macros. I think it is without a peer on any platform I am well versed in AutoHotKey for Windows and have written 1000s of lines of macros in it, b

Very interesting. I will give it a try. . Long ago I worked on the Plone CMS, and it could be setup to have its content accessible via WebDAV. Files (such as JPG, MS Office, Flash, etc) could be edited with the application of your choice. N

The most successful projects I have been on started with a smart manager, admin, engineer or other non-programmer who used Excel, FileMaker, FrontPage or the like. Using the tools they know defined their real scope of work. Projects that st

Orion is based on Apple’s WebKit, not Google’s Chromium. Granted Chromium was a fork of WebKit, but that was a long time ago.

I am skeptical of the long term viability of such projects that rely on VC funding. However, if I recall correctly, the early days of node.js was mostly funded by Joyent. It took time and some major conflicts for Node to be controlled by a

I agree. And it is not just payment processing. Time-clocks, KDS, and other systems too. I heard from some of my local competitors they had what looked like failed charges on their end, hit customers multiple times.

I am going to dig through this. Growing up in California, our public TV station would often fill the bottom of the hour with shorts. Many of them were from the NFB. In random moments, I have often thought about trying to find some of those

If you like macOS keyboard shortcuts, I recommend you checkout Kinto go Windows and Linux. On Windows, Kinto used AHK https://kinto.sh However, at least when I set it up Kinto did not provide switching windows in this fashion.
